Ah excellent, a Doctor Who thread! Been a fan for around a year now and I do love the series, especially the 1970-81 era.
I may as well have my top 10 in order, actually;
Tom Baker (I love his full bore performances, ranging from real gravitas to out and out ham- THE Doctor, imho)
Jon Pertwee (love the Venusian Karate and his often insufferable pomposity- 'Inferno' is my fave story thus far)
Patrick Troughton (shame more of his don't survive- they are a joy to watch)
Sylvester McCoy (imho, McCoy is excellent- I love the 4 DVDs I have, haven't seen any more though)
David Tennant (wasn't keen on last year's series, but imho this year's series and Tennant himself is excellent and the two part 'Human Nature/The Family Of Blood' was a stunner)
William Hartnell (well I don't watch these ones as much, to be honest)
Christopher Eccleston (had they concentrated even more on the darker side of his character, he would have been higher)
Peter Davison (found the companions almost all unanimously irritating in his era)
Colin Baker (haven't seen that many of this era but I find his performances to be a bit OTT sometimes)
Paul McGann (didn't like that TV movie at all...and that's all I have to judge him on)
As for favourite companion?? Lalla Ward aka Romana II, no question...Tom Baker certainly agreed, he married her (albeit briefly...)!

All time is relative, he can go back to 56046 if he wants, and where the TARDIS is involved anything is possible...

John Simm gets hit by a speeding T.A.R.D.I.S. and is transported back to the year 56045. |
Back? Thats forward. |
He could have been hit by the T.A.R.D.I.S. in 56046

Do 'The Stanley' otherwise I'll thrash you with some rhubarb.

Now it would be amusing if The Doctor ended up on the set of Life on Mars to stop the Train Robbery.

That was my theory too, until they showed a trailer/clip thing with John Simms as a politician grinning at the camera, aka Mr Saxon. |
That doesn't stop the stranger being The Master though. |
Maybe it's the Valeyard.  Actually, now that we're up to Doc number 10, at some point they may have to deal with this continuity nightmare. Although that made for a hell of a climax to Trial of a Time Lord.

IMHO,I believe that the McGann shows were what was needed to kick the BBC into resurrecting the new series'.

They are very good, and the ones with McGann would probably change your opinion of him as the Doctor. They've completed five seasons with him so far.

I only listed official Doctors. I also left out Rowan Atkinson, Richard Grant, etc. from the Curse of Fatal Death. Actually, Paul McGann was in more than just the TV movie, which I agree wasn't that great. There are several series of audio plays with him as the Doctor, produced by Big Finish, which are excellent. |
Ironically,Paul McGann,being a very good comic actor, lacked the humour that is needed in a Doctor

Oh! definately. I think that Uncle Monty (Richard Griffiths) from Withnail and I would have made a great Doctor.

Well worth it! It's very funny and attention to detail (Props,music.A great soundtrack is available too) is superb.
